Hyundai Considers Pickup Truck For US Market - Could They Do Better Than Nissan Or Honda?

Product planners and engineers at headquarters in South Korea are studying what size truck would be best, Lee In-cheol, vice president in charge of international sales, said at a Hyundai training center here, southeast of Seoul.

"We do not have a pickup truck. Other than that, we cover almost every segment," Lee told Automotive News on the eve of the Seoul Motor Show. "We are studying that one very hard -- what kind of pickup truck we should produce, if we have to. Is it a big-size pickup truck like in the United States or a small kind of pickup truck?"

Hyundai has no plans to produce a pickup, but dealers in the United States and other countries are asking for one, he said.

I think they should probably look elsewhere. It might sell overseas but not here in the states. Toyota and Nissan are still fighting that uphill battle in many ways.

What are they going to copy from and call it?
Kundra
K-150
KRam
Kierra/Kilverado
Kitan

I'm sure it will be a splendid clone.
